Automotive Engineering Technology

I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The undergraduate training program in Automotive Engineering Technology is designed with an application-oriented approach, aiming to equip learners with a comprehensive system of knowledge ranging from fundamental to advanced in the fields of mechanical dynamics and automotive engineering technology. Students are provided with foundational knowledge in political theory – law, natural sciences, mathematics, information technology, national defense – security, and basic industry knowledge as a basis for acquiring specialized knowledge.

At the same time, learners are equipped with specialized and advanced knowledge in inspection, technical diagnostics, maintenance – repair, assembly, testing, design – simulation, manufacturing, and production management in the field of automotive engineering and intelligent transportation systems. In addition to knowledge, the program emphasizes the development of professional skills, including proficiency in using specialized equipment, tools, and software; skills in diagnostics, maintenance – repair, design – simulation, and testing; skills in analyzing and solving technical problems; the ability to work independently and in teams; and effective communication, negotiation, and presentation skills. Furthermore, students achieve a foreign language proficiency equivalent to level 3/6 and obtain the IC3/MOS informatics certificate; they also gain skills in searching and processing data to support professional tasks.

The program aims to train engineers with the ability for self-learning, self-research, and innovative thinking; possessing professional ethics, a sense of responsibility, professional working manners, and the ability to adapt to diverse working environments, especially in the context of digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0).

After graduation, learners can take on positions such as automotive technology engineers in automobile manufacturing – assembly enterprises or transportation companies; engineers at registration, warranty – maintenance – repair centers; intelligent transportation system engineers at operation centers, industrial zones, or smart urban areas; lecturers and researchers at educational institutions and research institutes; or work in units related to automotive engineering technology and transportation.
